Absolutely stunning views here. I'd argue they're better than cliffs of moher. Crazy that you can go right up to the edge. 100% wish I could go back.Full review by geelongexpat

After departing the ferry, we took a red van for hire, look for Jackson! Such a great guy and he took us around the island, where he has lived all his life. Very reasonably priced, I wish there was …Full review by lauries614

The OPW is very much the expert on the attraction as they run the ancient sites in Ireland, and what a great job they do. We chose the mini bus tour to get there, and our guide gave some great insights on living on the island plus some other parts.

Take the ferry from the mainland, then choose your island touring preference, by bike, trap and pony, or island tour. The ferry is for people only, you may not bring your car to the island. We had a good weather day, so the bikes were perfect. The electric bike was great for the hills on the island.
We have plans to visit the Aran Islands in June with our children, ages 10 and 5.5. Is the terrain at Dun Aonghasa too difficult and/or unsafe for children? If bringing children is ill-advised, should we focus our time on the islands elsewhere or skip the visit to the islands entirely and wait until they are older? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Great for kids but like every other cliff you hang on to your kids. Landscape amazing they will live it. Beautiful beach close by too.
